Trail Escape Edinburgh is a marathon and 25K trail event starting and finishing at Saughton Park, close to Edinburgh city centre. Both routes follow traffic free green corridors away from the city before reaching the surrounding countryside, providing a transition from urban parkland to open hills and trails.
Runners tackle a varied trail course featuring rolling hills, challenging climbs, fields, reservoirs and woodland, with extensive views across Edinburgh and the surrounding landscape. Both the marathon and 25K use an out and back format, returning along the same route towards Saughton Park, with wayfinding, marshals and aid stations supporting participants throughout the course.
Both distances can be completed as a run or hike, with separate starts for each format and timing provided for all participants. The combination of a city centre accessible start and extensive countryside trails gives Trail Escape Edinburgh a distinctive format, allowing participants to reach challenging off road terrain without travelling far beyond the capital.
